It is safe to say that Dead cells more alive than ever. First released in 2018 for PC and consoles, the super-side-scrolling roguelike throws you off as a revised soldier. You wear randomly selected weapons, which you use to kill random spawning enemies as you go through random biofuels. It’s chaotic fun.
The Motion Twin developer has continued to breathe new life into it by releasing a steady stream of additional content and multiplying the platforms on which you can play. Today the latest extension can be seen, Deadly waterfall, a $ 5 piece of downloadable content that will add new areas, new weapons, and a new boss to the game. Good reason to play, if you ask me.
Sounds fun. Where can I play?
Dead cells originally available on Switch, PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. These days, there are mobile versions for both Android and iPhone players. It’s also part of the Game Pass library and can be seen on PS Now (well, for next week). Like Fortnite and Minecraft, Dead cells practically everywhere. Personally, I prefer it on Switch.

What about these extensions?
Over the years, Motin Twin and a Dead cellslabeled with focus, Evil Empire, has released three major expansions for the game. They are:
Rise of the giant: This one is free, and will add a platform called the Cave to the game, which will allow you to take over a new boss called the Giant.
Bad seeds: Last year’s extension, an Bad seeds DLC, planted two new biofuels, the Dilapidated Arboretum and Morass of the Banished. These serve as alternatives to the second level (Promenade of the Condemned, Toxic Sewers) and the third level (Ramparts, Sewers Sewers, Ossuary), culminating in a boss fight against a grim, 90- monstrosity. eyed called. Tick mama, another game center leader for the Concierge. Everyone said it is a great way to shake off the early parts of your run. Five buckets.
Deadly waterfall: Today Deadly waterfall expansion also adds two biomes. The first, Fractured Shrines, is intended as an alternative to Stilt Village and Slumbering. The second, Undying Shore, takes players away from the Clocktower and disturbs the Forggcher Sepgcher areas. It ends with a chief’s fight on a platform called the Mausoleum. .
Everyone said that, after the expansion, there are more than two dozen biomes. With both extensions downloaded, your runs through the game’s biofuels according to mode will be much different than they would be with the base version.
What’s up with the story?
Dead cellsIt’s a story. It’s just cut down. You play as a bodybuilder called Beheaded. Your goal is to escape from prison, which you do by passing a headless body at the beginning of each run. The whole world is plagued by an obscure disease called Malaysia, which seems to have regenerated a group of bodies into monsters of various sizes and strengths. When you die, you take over another headless body in the starting range.
The Rise of the giant he added a fun crescent to the wide plot by announcing that the Collector – he is the one you will give to your employment cells in exchange for new gear and powers – came out as a badass. game. Apparently, the Collector had been trying to find work on a cure for the Malaysian, the Panacea, but committed suicide in the process. You can only reach it with five Boss Stem Cells activated, an awful scary action I never thought of dealing with.
Boss gas cells
Those little globules of … blood (?) Dead cells’ approach for difficulty levels. You can implement them in the starting room – each one significantly picks up the challenge bigger than the last one – and you have to hit every level of difficulty before you can solve the next one.
At the end of the day, you play Dead cells for the slow fight, the tight stage, the carefree feeling of gradual progress, the eye-popping pixel art, or that delicious crunchy sound design. For better or worse, the story is on the fringes.
So … should I play?
There is! Go, go, go! Dead cells still freakin ‘rules. You heard it here first.
